Do you like Mystery Quilts but are tired of waiting a whole year to see what the quilt will look like?   If so, then this mystery is for you!  Patchpieces brings you the Two Month Mystery Blocks! 

The first month will include the PDF pattern and instructions (very basic instructions with fabric color and placement suggestions).  The second month you get to see the block and if needed I will add a downloadable file with instructions to complete it.  I will also share a setting ideas to make your block into a quilt.  Each Mystery block is meant to be a stand-alone block.  They are NOT part of a Block of the Month where you would make them all into a quilt at the end of the year.

Special Notes:

1. The Two Month Mystery Blocks will be offered over a period of two months as time allows.  For example, if a mystery block pattern is added in April, then the block will be revealed in May.  If you would like to know when a new mystery block is added to my web site, please join my Patchpieces mailing list. 
2. No yardages will be given.  These Mystery Blocks are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)  This will save the designer (me) and the maker (you) time. 
3. These blocks would be excellent to use as a fun project for your quilt guild!  Give members the pattern one month and complete it the following month. You may use these blocks without written permission for your guild as long as they are offered for free and the pattern page is left intact with my name, copyright and website information.

These patterns are in Portable Document Format (.pdf)  You will need Acrobat Reader to view and print the patterns.
